    Such an amazing experience. The food was the star of the show and the cocktails were amazing to boot. They definitely earned their Michelin star with the level of quality and creativity in creating their dishes. Best steak tartar I think I ever had. The mushrooms blew our minds. And the uni bread pudding bite was incredible. Rudy was a delight as well. Kudos all around!

    Second time here at Aba, and it was just as wonderful as the first! Sandra was our server and she took fantastic care of us. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the food is amazing, but highly recommend the sweet potato spread! The entire restaurant is beautiful, but I love sitting outside here.
